Information on travelling to the Tall Ships Races Aberdeen.
Travelling to the Tall Ships Races Aberdeen 2025
The Tall Ships Races will come to Aberdeen from the 19th of July to the 22nd of July, with a standalone concert planned for Friday the 18th of July.
It is expected that tens of thousands of spectators will attend the event. To minimise road traffic congestion and reduce the carbon footprint of the event, the organisers are recommending that spectators consider the use of public transport or car sharing where possible. Those staying in the local area should consider active travel (walking, wheeling or cycling).
There is limited on-street parking available in Aberdeen, so it is recommended that those travelling by car make use of the dedicated Park & Ride sites which will be set up for the event.
